Hi everybody,

This is my first post so, i beg you pardon if i make some mistakes, thank you so much

Two months ago, at my work someone discover how to create a template just for our area, so he made all the changes we needed and put it in the *.pax file, but for some reason every time we open a drafting that contain that template all dimensions on the drafting duplicates, so we need to delete every single dimension manually for export to a pdf.

The curious is that this "error" just happens with our template.

Please, ¿somebody have any idea of what is causing that?

Thank you so much for your attention and your support.

Are you able to post the template file here?

I can't seen anything wrong with the template you are using. I added it to a pax file I use and in a drawing I create using that template the dimensions aren't duplicated.

Are you able to provide a video as it might make more sense?

In NX, Tools -> Movie -> Settings and set
Capture Area to "Desktop"
Smoothness to "10"
Compression to "Microsoft Video 1"
Playback to "As Recorded"

Then record using Alt+F5, stop with Alt+F7.
Save the video file, then use WinRAR to rar the file (it will be a lot smaller with RAR, than with ZIP).
Then upload the RAR file here.

I just took a look at your video and I can't see what the problem is.
You've made a drawing, put on some dimensions, but I can't see how they are duplicated.

When you end up with the duplicated dimensions and you save the Drawing, will they remain? if not it might be just a Graphical problem.
Are you using a certified Graphics card with correct Driver?

Hello again everybody

PhoeNX, when i save the drafting and reopen it all the dimensions are duplicated, for example a dimension of 500mm in a side when i opened it again there are two dimensiones of 500 mm indicating the same side.


nutace, I'm using the driver and graphic card certified, but the dimensions appears every time i open the drafting.


Thank you so much for you support and your kindness.

Greetings.

Turns out it's a known bug in NX9, fixed with NX10.0.3.
Something has happended to the template and in any version of NX9 I tried, create a dimension, save then reopen and the dimension duplicates.
In NX10.0.3, that doesn't happen.

Thank you PhoeNX for your response

So ¿is it just a bug derivated from the version? [surprise]

 
Looks like it. I've never seen it before and never had a customer report it, so it's rare, but Siemens know about it because it was in their database.

Really strange. we are using NX9.0.3 with MP12 and I have never seen this issue...
